Also cameron gotta go. Anytime we have a lead in the 2nd half we go to conservative ******** mode. It is pathetic. We honestly have the worst coordinator pair in the NFL.

Cameron didn't call that bad of a game. You can't blame him for playing conservative with the way our defense was playing. Kill as much clock as possible and punt and pin the Steelers deep. It worked up until that crazy play Polumalu made. We were in control of the game before that play.

4) For the simple fact that Goodn actually dresses and guys like Phillips and Ellerbe are active shows harb isnt really a good evaluater of personell. Gooden is pathetic. Overpursues more then any LB I have ever seen, if as durable as Samari ROlle falling off of the empire state building and as physical as Fabian Washington. I know we all wanted to see him suceed because he is from the U and is wore 52 but the dude doesnt belong on the field. Id take TOm Zbikowski at ILB over Gooden.

5) Landry and Johnson learn how to tackle a ****** 3rd string RB.

I can't see how were pathetic with clock management? We were playing a great offensive game until the 1 crazy sack, strip fumble. I mean what did you want Cameron to do? Air it out when were up 10-6? I agree w/ him running the ball and punting, our defense was playing pretty damn well.

As for Flacco, I thought he played his best game vs. the Steelers and I am still impressed. Outside of the Polumalu play, he was terrific IMO. He was a lot calmer than usual and DIDN'T turn the ball over, which is the biggest thing.

I was also upset when we let that scrub Redman scoring on a 3rd and long. Total BS by our defense, they played an amazing game up until then, and then all of a sudden they forget how to ******* tackle.

He probably won't be suspended, probably a fine. It better be around a 40K fine.

Oh, and I believe Ngata will be fined as well for punching Ben in the face. Not that I agree with it, but I could see it happening. It at least warrented a flag IMO.

I can't see why Ngata should be fined, McClain, yes definitely. But Ngata had a clean sack of Big Ben, his hand just went into Big Bens facemask. He didnt "punch" him intentionally. Even Ben said it himself..

Great game though. This was probably the toughest to swallow, only because we dominated almost all game long, beat up Ben, hit the long passes, stuffed the run and the game was pretty much ours for the taking.

I have a ton of respect for Ben and the way he plays, bad foot, broken nose, one of the worst o-line's in the league and he still finds ways to win games. Ultimate football player.

Good game, last night was a clear example why Ravens-Steelers is easily, by far and away the best rivalry in the NFL right now.

Oh, I know it was unintentional. It should have been a flag though because the rules state that you can't hit a QB in the head. I don't think he'll get fined either, but the way the NFL has been lately, it wouldn't surprise me.

Man, that was a tough one to swallow. We controlled the whole game and just let it slip through our fingers.

I still can't believe that Flacco, one of the biggest QB's with one of the biggest arm's in the league, underthrew Dickson on a little 3 yard arrow. I also give Flacco a large the blame for the Polamalu play. I know it was a 3-step drop but he should of realized that he needed to either adjust the protection or check out of that play because Pitt was bringing 7 and we only had 6 guys blocking. I'm not putting the loss all on Flacco as he had made some big plays in what was probably his best game ever against the Steelers. I just want to see him, when the stakes are high, to put a complete game together. It's not that he chokes, its just personally, I still can't count on him to be clutch and make the plays to win the game, when we need it most. Not that he hasn't shown the ability to do that, but I just can't count on him to do it consistently.

I can't fully blame Flacco for the strip-sack. Oher should have let the rest of the offense know that Polamalu was coming on the blitz and the guy he was blocking came shifted more to the inside so Oher couldn't get in the way of both guys. Flacco was trying to throw it quickly on a three-step drop, but Polamalu just got there too quickly for him to do anything about it. It'd be hard for him to see him coming as the play was designed to be thrown to the right side quickly, so he couldn't just stand there and survey the field. Really it was a good called play by the Steelers, but one that we should have seen coming. Flacco should have looked over the defense more thoroughly before the snap, but to mostly blame him for it isn't the truth IMO.

What a pathetic showing in the second half. What a tough game to watch. We had a ton of time left at the end, we had no business throwing twice when we need two yards for the first. Run it with Rice and take your last timeout if you have to, but they had been teeing off on Flacco the entire second half. Protection was awful. Ugh, such a frustrating game to have to watch. I hate losing to the Steelers more then anything, especially when they had no buisness being in that game in the first place. We need to learn to close **** out. Such a disappointing performance.

The sad thing is with what we have been shown so far I dont think Cameron or mattison will be smart enough to make the proper adjustments so we can close a game out. We got the worst coordinator combo in the NFL.

Comment

Throwing the ball twice there at the end of the game was just unacceptable. Send Rice in behind Oher and Grubbs, get 2 yards, and continue the drive. Dont dick around running tiny flare passes like that. Ugh. What a stupid thing to do.
